its actually really easy to do, are you doing it for security like a hidden fuel cut off switch, or for racing battery disconnect switch?

I'm looking for either an ignition cut off or a fuel cut off for added security.

rimkinator, thats very easy to do. all you need is a small toggle switch such as this one.... http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search

or a pushbutton on/off switch of similar size. basically it should mount in a 3/8" or 1/4" hole

and some 22 or 24 guage wire, also available at radio shack

then you will look at http://www.roadraceengineering.com/e...-ecuwiring.htm and notice number 22.

locate that wire and cut it as far up as you can then extend the freshly cut ends with the 22 or 24 guage wire and run them both to your switch.

hide your switch somewhere in the dash where you can reach it, or in the center console, or where ever you want.

mounting the switch is easy just drill the appropriate hole (3/8" or 1/4") and thats it!

I've done that kill switch on every one of my cars and tons of friend's cars. It works great and may have actually averted the theft of a friend's 99 civic si (those things get stolen like no other). The dash was all torn up but the would be theives couldnt find the switch although they did manage to kill his alarm

You already have a Anti theft imoblizer, that cuts off the fuel pump. I don't know why you need anything else. If the person can get past the Anti theft. I'm pretty sure a cut off swith will be no problem either???

If someones going to really steal your car there's not much you can do. I hope you got gap insurance
